Whisky - the EU Network GR Hydrodynamics code
Whisky is a code to evolve the equations of hydrodynamics on curved
space. It is being written by and for members of the
EU Network on Sources of Gravitational Radiation
and is based on the
Cactus Computational Toolkit .
A version of Whisky should be released into the public domain
soon. Whisky has grown from earlier codes such as
GR3D
and
GRAstro_Hydro,
but has been rewritten to take advantage of some of the latest
research performed here in the EU. The motivation behind Whisky is to
compute gravitational radiation waveforms for systems that involve
hydrodynamics. Examples would include the merger of a binary system
containing a neutron star, which are expected to be reasonably common
in the universe and expected to produce substantial amounts of
radiation. Other possible sources are given in the projects list.
This page describes the development of the Whisky code. Here you can

This is the first attempt of a world map which shows in green the location
of Whisky developers and in white locations of Whisky users.
Note: This map is not (yet) complete! Please make suggestions about
additions or corrections to the whisky-developers mailing list. This map was
created using xplanet from this
list of developers/users.
